[Qemu-devel] [RFC PATCH v2 10/12] qapi: Avoid use of 'data' member of qapi unions

[Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com>]

qapi code generators currently create a 'void *data' member as
part of the anonymous union embedded in the C struct corresponding
to a qapi union.  However, directly assigning to this member of
the union feels a bit fishy, when we can directly use the rest
of the struct instead.
